Every persistent collection in Clojure supports conversion to the sequence of items. This is clearly documented in the official docs and there is no surprise here.
The order or items in the resulting sequence is dependent on the collection type. As the conversion to the sequence is a referentially transparent function, you will always get the same order for the same collection.
